Printmaking with the Printing Press

Thursday, January 17, 2019 from 6:30 – 8:30PM

General Public: $25
MakeHaven Members: $20

Ready to try out this cool printing press? Bring a carved wood or linoleum block if you have one, or use a sample block & type provided by our instructor! Learn to pull pull your own prints using the Chandler & Price press. The advantages of using a press over hand-printing are:

the press can deliver much more pressure which helps achieve a more consistent ink distribution across the print

registration for placement on the page and for printing multiple colors becomes much easier

printing editions (a series of identical copies) becomes possible.

Printing ink and enough paper for each participant to make an edition of at least 5 prints will be provided for the workshop by MakeHaven.
